I am doing the regear on my new 44 and I have precision gear 4.88's but the holes on the ring gear are bigger than the holes in the carrier meaning the bolts don't fit!!! would it be ok to drill out the carrier and use grade 8 bolts or would they break?
 
You have a low ratio Carrier, you need to get a high ratio carrier. You can't put 4.88's on any carrier that was originally 3.55 or lower numerically.

Carriers from 3.55 and numerically lower = low ratio
Carriers from 3.73 and numerically higher = high ratio
 
does anyone know if grade 8 bolts will work to hold the ring gear or aircraft hardware if not what will???????????? (dad works on military base)
 
I'd be making a phone call to precision if I where you. Don't use anything but the proper ring gear bolts, and only use them once, they should have came with the new gears. This is not an area to jerry rig!
